What is podcasting?

What is a radio show? What is a TV show? They are forms of audio and video communication. They are syndicated to appear at regular intervals. A podcast enables you to host your own radio or TV show and also allows your audience to access your programs by subscribing through a host such as itunes. The host can be a blog, a wiki or any site that allows you to post and archive files. They send new posts to subscribers. People can subscribe to the podcasts allowing the host to manage the update notifications. When you sync your mp3 device with the computer you will have the latest podcast episodes available on demand.

What is an RSS feed?


RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication! Syndcation simply means people can sign up to receive it as often as you post a new show. Services like podomatic.com create the rss feeds for you. ITunes is a podcast feed manager. Many podcasts both audio and video feed through iTunes subscriptions. ITunes does not host or store data it simply manages the subscriptions.
